A SUPERMARKET is launching a new scheme to offer community groups a free meeting space.

Morrisons in Malton is opening its doors to new parents, charities, book clubs, craft groups and gaming communities.

Groups can book tables, for up to 20 people, through the Morrisons Malton’s Community Champion. They are available between 9am and 11am and 2pm until the café closes every weekday.

Helen Tordoff, head of cafes at Morrisons, said: “We are delighted to formalise the offering and make it even easier for local communities to come together over a cup of tea and great food.”

Rachel Taylor, member of the Horsforth Craft Group, which meets in one of the Morrison stores, said: “Some community centres can be tricky to book as costs can be quite high and there is limited

availability.

“We meet there regularly to create our craft masterpieces and would encourage any other clubs to consider Morrisons as an affordable and pleasant place to meet.”

To book your meet up space, groups can contact their local Morrisons Community Champions with bookings taken on a first come, first serve basis.
